Her most defining moment, however, was winning AVP Cincinnati in her first year out of college. It was then that she realized she could pursue becoming a professional beach volleyball player full-time. When Betsi isn’t playing volleyball, she is spending time with her husband Chase and their daughter Cora or meal prepping. One interesting fact about Betsi is that she was born and raised in a small town in South Dakota, where she fell in love with sports. She later moved to Phoenix, AZ, with her family.

We’re all about to head into summer and as I was thinking about what might help you the most, my mind went straight back to an experience I had with a mom in my community. She has 7 kids, and when I asked her how the heck she was keeping them all busy and entertained AND teaching them to work and be responsible (all her kids are hard workers!) she gave me the most amazing tip that I’m going to share with you.

PLUS I’m sharing the exact template she shared with me that I made my own, and you can make it your own too. Go to mintarrow.com/summerjobs and download it for your summer of kids learning to work and stay busy and thrive!

Also shout out to Cariloha who I mentioned at the beginning of this episode - you can go to Cariloha.com and use code mintarrow for 30% off anything — I highly recommend the resort line of sheets and mattresses!!
